It's not every player that can make $90 million seem cheap.
But David Pastrnak has done that and more.
The 27-year-old Czech was the best player in the league not named Connor McDavid last season, establishing career-highs in goals (61), assists (52) and points (113) to earn the eight-year deal whose salary begins at $13 million, second in the league, this season.
He's on pace to start the contract with a 51-goal, 116-point season for the Bruins, who are first in the Atlantic Division and chasing a second straight Presidents' Trophy, and he's in the top 10 in every significant statistical category—including goals, assists, points, points per game, even-strength goals, even-strength points, power-play goals, power-play points and shots.
